On Wednesday last week I was invited to the Habitat A/W 2014 press day at the Oxo Tower Wharf on London’s south bank. There was such an amazing array of styles and items, definitely something for everyone. I took lots of photos, but have whittled them down to my favourite few for this post! The shelf unit below is now very firmly on Sam’s wish list, and to be honest I rather like it…
As soon as Athena could pull herself up on her cot she started to chew along the top bar like a little beaver. I looked online for the plastic sleeves that clip on to the rails, but a) they don’t seem to be available in many places and b) they are expensive for what they are! I also read a few reviews that said if they went on after the baby started to chew…
Ask most parents what extra room they’d love to have in their house, and apart from the obvious choices of gymnasium or study, many will say that they’d love a playroom for their children. Many already do have one, and they no doubt find it a Godsend having an area the kids can go and play without (in theory) spreading their toys around the rest of the house.

Everyone’s allowed to dream right? Sam tells me off when we walk or drive past a house and I say “we’ll never be able to afford that… dream big” So I’ve decided to channel my frustration into a series of posts about our ‘forever home’ and what I’d love for it to look like, and first up is the living room… A large window to let in oodles of light, preferably not south…
We moved into our flat in July, That’s 6 months ago. Until last weekend our bedroom looked like pretty abysmal; no curtains, a bit of a mess and no decoration either. The Range very kindly offered to let me choose some items from their huge online selection to give the room a New Year bedroom makeover. Pretty unimpressive, very untidy and really bare! After umming and ahhing for hours we decided on a nautical theme.…
Athena doesn’t spend much time in her nursery yet, one or maybe 2 naps a day plus changing and clothing time, but she will spend a lot more time in there in the (hopefully) not too distant future! she’s starting to sleep the odd 7+ hour straight overnight after a spate of broken nights sleep, so as soon as she’s doing that more often than not I plan to put her down in…
It might be to do with being about to be a married woman,or it might be because I have lived my life thus far being pretty much a slob (I’m not even being over dramatic, a friend once offered to help me put all my washing away because there was nowhere to sit in my flat) or (more likely) because I am a master procrastinator and am avoiding doing the dreaded table plan for the…
